If you’ve never heard of Robert Morrow, then you may want to sit down for this story. Morrow’s the co-author of a slam book — along with former Donald Trump lackey Roger Stone, who Trump has blocked from his campaign — called The Clintons’ War on Women, which bashes Hillary Clinton in several unsavory ways. Morrow has written sexual and derogatory social media postings about Chelsea Clinton, and in the above 2011 interview with InfoWars’ Alex Jones, Morrow talked about how he and Rick Perry dig the same women. That is to say, Morrow enjoys strippers, and he alleged that one of his favorites visited Perry to “give him a Monica Lewinsky.”
Morrow embraces his reputation to the point of tweeting busty-lady photos and filling his whole Twitter account with unfortunate opinions. The dude wavers between making foam-party jokes about Marco Rubio and saying he wants to lick peanut butter off Hillary. Somehow (and while the country was handing Donald Trump seven states), Morrow beat out an incumbent to get himself elected as Austin GOP Chairman.
His fellow Republicans are not happy. Travis County GOP Vice Chair Matt Mackowiak has vowed to pursue all avenues of removing Morrow:
I am exploring several options to remove Robert Morrow as Travis County GOP chairman. His election is a disaster & unacceptable.

Mackowiak also spoke with the Texas Tribune, and the paper touched base with Morrow, who issued a swift (and characteristic) response:
“We will explore every single option that exists, whether it be persuading him to resign, trying to force him to resign, constraining his power, removing his ability to spend money or resisting any attempt for him to access data or our social media account,” Mackowiak told the Tribune. “I’m treating this as a coup and as a hostile takeover.”
“Tell them they can go f*ck themselves,” Morrow told the Tribune.
Mackowiak further detailed how Morrow, a yuuuge conspiracy theorist, is an impending “disaster” and an embarrassment to the GOP. While speaking with the American-Statesman, Mackowiak asserts that several Texan and national politicians have joined forces to remove Morrow before he works “unlimited damage.” Unfortunately, the only real way (under existing Texas law) to remove an elected official is to unearth proof of a felony conviction.
Morrow’s not budging, and while his statements are even crazier than the stuff Donald Trump says, this controversy illustrates what we may see if Trump gets elected as president. Mitch McConnell and other GOP lawmakers are already freaking out over Trump’s rise, and Trump’s election could cause an inner-party revolt.
